- Read it
- Am reading it
- Will read it
- Will skim it
- Too long for me to read
- Whatever CNN says is enough for me
- Whatever Fox says is enough for me
- $30 million and two years totally wasted
- I do not give a rabbitfart in a blizzard
Me, I downloaded it, and I'm in the process of skimming it

What report?
No matter what is written, each side will spin it to their advantage.
I'm gonna go with the 30 million wasted.
FYI @webmost there should be a drop down on New Discussion for making a poll.
But here is the URL to take you to the New Poll page.

Just some perspective on the "waste" of the cost: in raw dollars (not adjusted for inflation) this cost less than investigations into Bill Clinton or Iran-Contra under Reagan.
And it made nearly as much in fines.
To me, that's kind of part of doing business. It'll cost something and I think enough info was found to justify it.
As to the full report, I'll make some time to skim through at least. But not on Easter! Gotta head to sunrise.
Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.0 -
I'll read it, but an investigation done my Trump haters and Dem attorneys who wanted to find anything to bring him down could come up with nothing.Their job was to look for collusion, not the witch hunt they were on. They found none, quite some time ago, yet just dragged it out.3

I hope in reading it, there will be charges brought against hillary, obozo, schiff and a slew of others. Also hope that after reading it the law abiding tax paying working citizens will finally understand just how much TDS there is built in with the cnn's "reporting", and severely reduce the number of viewers they have been lying to on a daily basis for over 2 years.3

In the name of all that's good and just in the world, why would I bother? It affects me not one iota, has lead to my total disdain of anything political and gives me heartburn. This whole thing was just a formality before the actual chaos ensues... a bit like playing the National Anthem before a Cubs game.I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...2

For those who don't read the report, here's the cliff notes:
1) The first volume details myriad attempts by so many many Russian operatives over years to involve Trump campaigners in collusion. Many if not most of these campaigners were only wannabes with no real voice in affairs. Many of these attempts dangled Clinton emails as a carrot, but none delivered. Given so many underhanded attempts on so many shady pretenders, it's astonishing that they never succeeded in turning a single trick. Nope; not even.
2) The second volume details a falsely accused irascible old man hollering "Get off my lawn!" Given the vile tone of his accusers over a two year span and the well-established jackassery of the old man, it's astonishing that his coterie managed all the while to keep him from shooting the neighborhood children and his foot in the process. He owes a lot to underlings.
3) There is no volume three delving into how Hillary subverted money donated in large part by foreign governments to what was ostensibly a charity foundation to flat out buy the DNC (read Donna Brazile's book if you doubt that), which then gave millions to a firm of liars (I spell attorneys phonetically for clarity), which in turn
hired an opposition research firm with FBI operatives in its payroll, which then hired a British spy, who paid Russian agents to fabricate dirt, and how that dirt was then fed to fake news media, as well as used to lie to a court to grant warrants for the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign. Nope, not the least mention of that trail of shameful deceit. Nuttin, honey. This report sadly lacks part three... the origin of Collusion Delusion.
Wasn't Nixon rode out on a rail for wiretapping the opposition? The diff was, Nixon hired a band of amateurs; while the FBI employed high tech professionals on the government payroll. IIRC, Nixon caught wind that Dean's wife was the madame in a scheme to supply prostitutes to Democrat convention delegates in return for votes. The amateurs were caught retrieving the evidence. Their evidence was buried.
I fear volume three will likewise never see the light of day.

When this whole debacle gets me riled, I just go and reread through my Doonesbury anthologies from the 70's. It teminds me there's absolutely nothing new inside the Beltway and all remains in relative balance. At the end of it all, there's always beer.I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...4

Lol, I've had people ask me: "Why are you keeping these old cartoon books?" It's like the Harley thing, if I have to explain, you wouldn't understand. I've got all the old Calvin & Hobbes, too. And everything Mark Twain or Robert A. Heinlein ever wrote. Too good to let go of.Trykflyr_1 said:When this whole debacle gets me riled, I just go and reread through my Doonesbury anthologies from the 70's.

Calvin and Hobbes was epic - as was my all-time favorite, Pogo Possum who said, “We have met the enemy and he is us”.....
